Off the Beaten Path Bookstore and Café

This is a great bookstore! There’s something for everyone. We enjoyed looking at the new and used books, the games, cards, and lots of extras. They had jewelry and fun novelty items. We each had something from the cafe too. The drinks were yummy and a local customer convinced me to get a chunky monkey muffin and it was delicious and big enough to share. We enjoyed the decor so much—even the bathroom! 📚 The customer service was phenomenal and we really enjoyed our visit. Thanks!

Quaint, cozy, beautifully designed spaces with helpful friendly staff. Coffee, teas, muffins and scones are scrumptious! Really enjoyed the selection of books, even a used section upstairs. Highly recommend!

The vibe here was amaaaazing, great selection of books, tasty coffee shop inside as well. The earl gray scone was a pleasant treat. All of the staff were kind and I enjoyed the selection of stickers to grab on the way out! I would definitely come back to this cute shop nestled in Steamboat!

This cozy bookstore and coffee shop is a great place to stop for a drink, pastries, knickknacks, and a great selection of books. I truly appreciated the staff recommendations tagged throughout the shop.

Off the Beaten Path is my favorite bookstore that I have ever walked into. I come here frequently for the delicious coffees, cozy atmosphere, and great book selection. If they don’t have the book you need, they can usually order for you! One of my favorite spots in Steamboat Springs. I only wish they stayed open until 7PM to allow a little more time to come study, read, and unwind after work. Should open the other side of the loft up to the public for additional seating as well as it can be packed (especially in the winter months). All in all, such a cozy adorable place. Love love love!

Best bookstore ever. Love love this place! Reminds me of Shop Around the Corner in You’ve Got Mail. Always nice, friendly staff. Love the seating upstairs. GREAT place to sit and write. The only thing I would change is to add more gluten-free bakery options. 😁😁😁 Also, could use more teen selections on sports etc.

What a real gem! Authentic and local bookstores, with coffee and lite-bites seem to have gone the way of the dinosaurs over the last few years, so was a real pleasure to sit and soak in the pleasures of this little beauty. Overflowing with books, little trinkets and good vibes. Stellar coffee and large muffins (always appreciated in this age of inflation). Little nook upstairs to sit, eat and chat. Friendly patrons. I will be back…! And thank you…✌🏽💗🙏🏽

Can’t come to Steamboat and not stop in here and get a BIG CHIPPER! It’s literally the best chocolate chip cookie. There is also a little chipper but you only get that one when the big ones are gone. Catching this fresh out of the oven is the best!!!!! It’s got a great chip to batter ratio. It’s crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. They run out all the time so you have to time it right. This place is technically a bookstore I’m really reviewing the cafe in the back. The books are okay I guess.

I love this place. We visit Steamboat often and this is a stop for me every time. I love their staff selections for finding things I maybe wouldn’t pick up without the suggestion. They also have an awesome coffee shop inside with yummy pastries and excellent lattes I love picking up a new book, getting a coffee, and reading in their loft area for a bit.

I have really come to enjoy small but well curated bookstores. Particularly in mountain towns as they often offer the reading I prefer, and Off the Beaten Path is no exception to this. With less common mountain adventuring books, to my preferred academic reading I found much to enjoy.

The cafe is pleasant as well, with good croissants and decent enough lattes (I'm a nerd on that latter part.) It's worth checking out, for coffee and/or books.
